Graeme (Simon Pegg) and Clive (Nick Frost) are to pals with a taste for the unusual. They know we're not alone in the universe, but they won't be satisfied until they get a firsthand glimpse of the most notorious government research facility in the entire United States. But somewhere deep in the Nevada desert, the two UFO enthusiasts are cruising in their RV when they happen across a most unlikely hitchhiker. Paul (voice of Seth Rogan) is a pint-sized alien who has spent the last 60 years in Area 51. He's been cooped-up in the care of the US government for far too long, and he's starting to get a little homesick. Of course Graeme and Clive are more than willing to help their wisecracking new friend get back to his mother ship, but Special Agent Zoil (Jason Bateman) of the FBI is closing in fast. And he's not the only one; in their race to get their new friend home Graeme and Clive have also become unwitting kidnappers, and the enraged father of their not-so-unwilling captive (Kristen Wiig) is determined to rescue his daughter at all costs.
